I am based in the Athens, GA area, passionate about building a sustainable income through real estate ventures.

Quote from @Zachary Kessler: Hello all I’m currently hacking my house that has an ADU dwelling that generates income, I bought this property intending to leave and rent the house that I currently reside in (2 bed 1 bath) I currently have a very good interest rate locked in here from 2022 that I don’t want to lose or have my mortgage called due from leaving here, I live here for very cheap with the income from the ADU.

I work for a building materials company now and took their online game from Zero to very engaged in the past few years and it's been really fun.

Tax deductions / write-offs should be a second concern.There are some rules that you need to follow to treat a short-term rental as 'active'(non passive) income which would allow you to offset it against other forms of income such as rental income / wages.

The initial area I will focus on is in NE FL and has the following: - Population: 81K - Median HH Income: $109K - Median Age: 45 - # of HH's: 32,958 I'd like to keep my area smaller in the beginning so I can better controll marketing expenses, while avoiding spreading them too thin. 

.- Sold it for $915K after 5.5 years (received $442K at the closing)- Did 1031 exchange and bought 8 SFH in NE & AL worth of 1.6M (brings $4k/months income now) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The dream for me is to eventually free up my time and have enough income from real estate to be able to pay for my music projects, travel, etc. 

They don't require employment verification, income or tax returns.

My name and my daughter’s name(s) are also in title and the loan.I have really good equity in both properties (six figure) with great interest rates.At some point my daughters and their husbands will move out to upgrade to something bigger.I want to turn these properties into investment properties after my daughters move out:  thinking the best way is to convert in my name only.Also considering leveraging the equity in the properties to help buy new homes/townhomes for my daughters when they are ready as well.Wondering what the best strategies would be for me to expand property portfolio, minimize tax impact , create more passive income while continuing to help my family grow.I appreciate any advice! 

•Verifying the buyer’s ability to repay (documenting their income is key).
